 Stem Cell Therapy for Longevity Masterclass - Online Event
March 18, 2022
1 - 2 pm
With our current scientific knowledge about stem cells, it is now feasible to delay aging and improve both your health span and your life span. Stem cell therapy along with other new anti-aging treatments can create a comprehensive shield that can result in protection from the body's aging process. As we age, our bodies undergo increased wear on the body's natural stem cells which increases cellular damage that can accelerate the natural aging process. By introducing youthful stem cells into the human body, we can rejuvenate your existing cells and in some cases, we can reverse the damage done over the years. Dr. Adrian de la Torre is a stem cell expert who has worked with patients and produced amazing results. In this masterclass, he will unlock the secrets to youthful aging through the use of stem cells.
In this Masterclass, you will discover:
• History of Stem Cells
• Clinical trials for Stem Cells
• How Stem Cell Therapy works
• What therapeutic conditions respond favorably
• How Stem Cells can reduce age related disorders
